Stock_levels OUT catalog items are not being reflected/searched properly

Hi there,

I have a catalog item named (AUTOMATIONTEST) with variation id = 4B55VLXMVHHUBE2LRXY7OKKD that currently has 0 stock. I was able to locate its 0 quantity IN_STOCK using the retrieve_inventory_count endpoint, response shown below:

{
  "counts": [
    {
      "catalog_object_id": "4B55VLXMVHHUBE2LRXY7OKKD",
      "catalog_object_type": "ITEM_VARIATION",
      "state": "IN_STOCK",
      "location_id": "LB5F8WYCHXM5V",
      "quantity": "0",
      "calculated_at": "2022-07-11T18:42:41.03Z"
    }
  ]
}

However, when I tried to locate it from the search-catalog-items endpoint with “stock_levels”: [“OUT”] filter on, I was not able to locate it somehow?!

Here is the request I had:

curl https://connect.squareup.com/v2/catalog/search-catalog-items \
  -X POST \
  -H 'Square-Version: 2022-06-16' \
  -H 'Authorization: ACCESS_TOKEN' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{
    "enabled_location_ids": [
      "LB5F8WYCHXM5V"
    ],
    "product_types": [
      "REGULAR"
    ],
    "text_filter": "(AUTOMATIONTEST)",
    "stock_levels": [
      "OUT"
    ]
  }'

And here is the response I got:

{
  "cursor": ""
}

Is this a bug on Square’s end? Or is there something I am not doing correctly here? Correct me if I am wrong. Thanks for helping!
